On one loop corrections in higher spin gravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2020-01-29 v2

Abstract

We propose an approach to compute one-loop corrections to the four-point amplitude in the higher spin gravities that are holographically dual to free O(N)O(N), U(N)U(N) and USp(N)USp(N) vector models. We compute the double-particle cut of one-loop diagrams by expressing them in terms of tree level four-point amplitudes. We then discuss how the remaining contributions to the complete one-loop diagram can be computed. With certain assumptions we find nontrivial evidence for the shift in the identification of the bulk coupling constant and 1/N1/N in accordance with the previously established result for the vacuum energy.
